Postdoctoral fellows
I am a CIFAR Junior Research Fellow at the University of Toronto. I study machine learning, Bayesian inference, artificial intelligence and machine vision.
I did my PhD in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at University of Waterloo with Paul Fieguth, during which I have also worked at Microsoft Research with Li Deng and Hagai Attias. My thesis was mainly on statistical speech processing and related machine learning techniques. I am interested in computational biology, machine learning, graphical models, and statistical signal processing.
Graduate students
I completed my undergraduate degree in Computer Engineering at the University of Manitoba in 2003, where I graduated with the highest academic standing and was awarded the gold medal in engineering and the Governor General's Academic Medal. Brendan Frey invited me into his PSI research group at the University of Toronto for my graduate studies and I have been working on projects in both computer vision and molecular biology during my doctoral program.
I am currently working on my M.Sc at the University of Toronto under the supervision of Dr. Brendan Frey and Dr. Andrew Emili (CCBR). My research interests are in developing efficient machine learning algorithms and applying them to solve complex problems in molecular biology. I completed my bachelor's degree at the University of Toronto and spent over 3 years working for a consultant company (Sapient Corp.) in the United States developing IT solutions for Fortune 100 financial and telecommunication companies.
I am a computer science graduate student at the University of Toronto, currently working under the supervision of Professor Brendan Frey. I'm interested in applying machine learning algorithms to computer vision and biological data. I've been working in collaboration with the Boone Lab at the University of Toronto.
After receiving his B.A.Sc. (Eng Sci, UofT 1999) and M.A.Sc. (Photonics, UofT 2000), Eddie spent 5 years in the Silicon Valley North, Ottawa, (JDSU, 2000 and Tropic Networks, 2000-5) building and architecting state-of-art reconfigurable optical networks - providing the enabling technology for VOIP, Video-on-demand, and other mission critical information transport. In 2005, Eddie joined Prof. Brendan Frey's group at the University of Toronto to pursue his Ph.D. degree in the field of computational biology - the use of machine learning techniques to uncover new biology info/processes (e.g. gene/protein intereactions) in organisms.
Eddie holds 4 patents (more pending) and authorships to numerous publications in the area of optical networking. Eddie's current research is funded by the NSERC CGSD award.
